But admitting the truth could be even worse. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBestowed with a rare musical gift, but burdened by demons of self-doubt and passions forbidden in 19th century Russia, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky struggled to release the music inside his head. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnd equally, to find romantic fulfillment that always remained just beyond his reach. He was deeply affected by the women in his life - those he loved, those he despised, and those whose affection he longed so badly to hold.\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYet, aside from music, his truest passion was reserved only for men. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTchaikovsky refused to abide by the rules of the musical establishment of his time. Assailed by critics as being 'neither Russian nor German, ' he endured scathing criticism which he often took to heart, destroying many of his own 'imperfect' compositions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis compelling new work takes you inside the head of Pyotr - from age seven to his untimely death at fifty-three. It also provides a layman's guide to his music and his musical influences, and the techniques Tchaikovsky used to chart his musical destiny.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steve Moretti, Paul Van Geldrop\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8201081846\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798201081843\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Steve Moretti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.45d","brand":"Steve Moretti","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078994358527,"sku":"9798201081843","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_33ecad79-c247-4fbf-a7ba-b6fbd8a66881.jpg?v=1685478684","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pyotr-steve-moretti-9798201081843","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
